Traffic signals under scrutiny after severe wind damage

In a recent meeting, local officials discussed ongoing efforts to improve traffic signal infrastructure in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The meeting highlighted the evaluation of six key intersections, with TxDOT's team scheduled to assist in this assessment.

Concerns were raised regarding the condition of traffic signal poles, some of which have been moved and rotated due to high winds, reaching speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. Officials are currently seeking guidance from TxDOT on how to address these issues, including potential temporary fixes to ensure safety and functionality.

The discussions reflect a proactive approach to maintaining traffic safety and infrastructure resilience in the face of severe weather challenges. Further updates are expected following the evaluation by TxDOT's team.
